motordavid will become famous soon enoughmotordavid will become famous soon enough
I ran 17s with Michey Alpins for 4 winters in the Mtns of western North Carolina, and they made our '01 sport, non-XDrive go like a Mtn goat.
The trade off is a bit less handling in hard cornering, and cosmetics, but you are doing the right thing going with 17s, imo. You will be well
equipped & impressed, I believe.

Yes, the 17s were std on many non-sport E53s in the earlier model years.
